As noblemen, nomads and sellswords fight tooth and nail for dominion of this coveted land, a new shadow is cast. The ascendant Anadolou Empire marches north under the banner of Sultan Fatih Suleyman IV, a keen tactician who has named himself heir to the Conqueror's City and all the lands surrounding it. With numbers legion and battle prowess beyond measure, their sights are set on total dominion. While some rely on brute force in warfare, the Anadolou Empire values patience, discipline, and more strategic measures to attain victory. As the Sultan's father once told him, to exploit a fatal flaw in the enemy's very foundations - a crack in their armour, a moment of indecision, a door left unlocked - is to utterly obliterate them. The old world will yield, or it will bleed.
